Full-time

Shunk Gulley

Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
Company: 30A Market
Job Type: Full-Time | Executive Leadership
Reports To: Ownership / Executive Leadership
Location: 30A / South Walton, Florida
About 30A Market
30A Market is a growing, multi-location lifestyle, hospitality, retail, food & beverage, and e-commerce company built around the unique coastal culture and customer experience of Florida's Scenic Highway 30A.
Our businesses serve both local customers and visitors from across the country. We are focused on creating memorable customer experiences while building strong, recognizable brands that drive traffic, sales, customer loyalty, and long-term business growth.
30A Market is more than a collection of individual businesses. We are building a connected portfolio of complementary businesses and experiences that can work together to create additional revenue opportunities, strengthen customer relationships, and establish 30A Market as a leading coastal lifestyle brand.
Because we operate in a highly seasonal and competitive market, we are looking for an executive who understands that successful marketing must ultimately translate into sales, profitability, customer growth, operational performance, and long-term business value.
About the Position
30A Market is seeking an experienced, strategic, creative, and results-driven Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) to lead the company's marketing, branding, communications, customer growth, and business development strategy.
This is not a traditional marketing-only position. The CMO will be a key member of the executive leadership team and will be expected to participate in the overall management and growth of the company.
The ideal candidate understands how to run a business, not just market one.
The CMO will work directly with Ownership and Executive Leadership to identify growth opportunities, improve revenue and profitability, develop new business opportunities, strengthen existing operations, improve the customer experience, and build a cohesive marketing strategy across the company's various businesses and locations.
This position requires someone who can think strategically at the executive level while also being highly involved in execution. The successful candidate will be comfortable reviewing financial performance, analyzing business results, managing budgets, working with Operations and Accounting, developing growth strategies, and holding themselves and their team accountable for measurable results.
